Y.Entrepreneur - Evening 2.0
That's me being spunky at Evening 2.0 after a long day at NAEF2008 (with 2 hours of sleep the previous night before, no less).
It was a great evening of networking and making friends with our host, my mentor
Edwin Toh.
Y.Entrepreneur's Evening 2.0 was hosted at Beer Station microbrewery located at Gillman Village (did I get the name wrong?), serving great Czech beer and awesome food.
I met a lot of young entrepreneurs there and great people.
Blogstar's Black Strawberries was there too, which made the evening all the more enjoyable because they were quite a young and fun group.
For some reason I find the name "Black Strawberries" funny
Jazzy, Edwin and Wilson as the registration teamOn top of being part of the registration volunteer team, I doubled up as the part-time photographer at night. Apparently, many people remember me as "that girl with the camera hopping about" that night.
This should be Peng, if I remember correctly
All of the Black Strawberries, for obvious reasons, appeared in black. They were friendly and spunky and also for obvious reasons, stayed in a group.
The one in the middle is Sarnie. The girl on the right says he looks like Rain. Who is Rain anyway?Our speaker of the night was
Dr. James Leong, creator of "NLP Worldwide eGroup". He is one of the more amazing guys I've met, and his acquaintance is a must-have. Check out what he does at
http://www.masternlpcoach.com/
Dr. James is a very animated and captivative speaker, never losing his audience's attention for a second. The topics he covered were quite interesting too. For example, did you know that Henry Ford created one of his first creations using wrecked airplane parts (or something like that)?
Essentially, the message he wanted to put across was to never give up, even if you have nothing, because great things come to those who take the first step forward.
Personally, I think what he does is fantastic, because he doesn't
give people ideas to be creative,
instead he uses a kind of hypnotherapy to open up a person's sub-conscious creative mind, which essentially means helping a person to be creative himself.
He also holds classes for people intending to become practitioners, to help even more people, which I think is an awesome idea.
Go check him out. Like
NOW.
Here comes the random snapping of pictures for random people.
Our stand-in emcee for the night,
Derek Ng of TeamWerx. He looks a little bit like
Julian Hee, minus the body-build (*drools over the website I just attached*).
That's Lucas Goh beside Derek, of
Agel, a network marketing company. He was also part of the volunteer team at Evening 2.0
Lucas is a very motivated individual who, along with his business mind, makes for a good online MSN kaki when bored at work.
And that's
Wendy, also part of the volunteer team, of
Star Creations. She's living her dream of being her own boss, teaching people the thing she loves to do - handicrafts. Which is pretty darn cool, because I like it too, and I'm very tempted to take up her class but for the fact that I don't even have time for myself now, much less classes.
That's
Wilson Ang in the middle, who also happens to be my partner at the registration desk. He is the president of
Environmental Challenge Organisation (ECO), and a very good friend to have. Despite us having hit it off so easily, I regard him as a mentor and highly respect him and value his friendship.
ECO has pretty much the same values as my upcoming organisation - To change the world. Not just to make a difference, but the freaking change it. Check out what he's doing at

Very, very friendly people.All in all, it was a great night out. I hope to attend more of these parties soon.
